Part 5 of building my Conch 27! Installing the Minn Kota Motor 87 inch Terrova Trolling Motor powered by 3 Dakota Lithium batteries. The mounting location of the trolling motor is key!
Versatility is key. Knowing how to fish different techniques and areas is the key to day in and day out success and keeps it fun. Live bait, topwater, soft plastics, vertical jigging and trolling. Can you catch them deep and shallow?
I’m very excited for the release of the new @lunkercityfishing Jig Head. I had the chance to field test and work on the design. We wanted a jig head with a strong hook that would fit the soft plastics appropriately without tearing or binding the bait. The collars on the jig head provide excellent grip to the soft plastic and will hold the bait even after dozens of fish!
The size 4/0 pairs well with 4 inch baits, the 6/0 hook pairs perfectly with the 5 3/4” Fin-S Fish (which is my go to size) and the 9/0 is made for 7 to 12 inch big baits.
The full moon brings stronger current velocity and higher and lower tides. This is often when fish and bait will migrate and may be better or worse fishing depending on the location you are fishing.
Episode 1 of building my Conch 27 is up on YouTube! Find out what makes this boat so special and watch as I go from a bare hull to a fully rigged fishing machine.
A massive school of stripers with some cows mixed in holding tight to the bottom. We located them on @humminbirdfishing Side Imaging with a 280 foot range in 11 feet of water.
With the summer season in full swing I expect to target a mix of striped bass, black sea bass and bluefish. One of the most versatile lures on my boat is the @fish_shimano_north_america Current Sniper Jig. This is an excellent lure for vertical jigging sea bass, in fact it often out produces squid!
It’s been a long process but the Conch 27 is finally in the water and we put the first fish in the boat. The live well is by far the best I have ever seen. I’m looking forward to seeing this boat perform in a variety of conditions.
First time for everything! Jim hooked a striper but when we got it to the boat we realized he never hooked the actual fish, instead he hooked a fish gripper that was attached to a stringer with a striper on it! This “lucky” fish was released unharmed.
New Video Alert!

Big Girl...
Checkout this thick school of stripers and how tight they are to the bottom. Would have missed them without @humminbirdfishing Mega Side Imaging.

A striper we caught and released. What do you think caused these unusual deep wounds???

Boat motor
Stripper fight …..
guys who drive fill throttle into a school of feeding fish because they don;t know you can sneak in a catch more than one !!!
Sushi chef
Looks like a bird
Spotted Lantern Fly
Shark, perhaps 🤔
Crazy to think he probably got that that day but still was ready to eat
Your braided line being wrapped around the fish is a possibility.
Caught this one in Raritan Bay a couple years ago.
A bigger fish
Probably a seal. Surprised you didn’t see it
Someone’s prop
Propeller
Spinner shark ?
Seal
When you ran it over lol
Seal
Prop
crab 🦀
Prop damage, more likely a pissed off pirate though. That fish looks like he likes rum.
Bunker
Maybe the stripper owed some money to a shark

Your head is really small lol
The full moon brings stronger current velocity and higher and lower tides. This is often when fish and bait will migrate and may be better or worse fishing depending on the location you are fishing.
